1Sarah R = "Many theologians believe that before Adam & Eve sinned, they and all creatures on Earth were vegetarian. This would mean that when God killed the animals to provide skins for Adam & Eve to cover their nakedness, this was the first time death and blood shed had occurred. Death is a consequence of sin being in the world. "
